Is it too late to write about April Goals? Short answer: YES. I had this whole blog post idea to set some goals for last month and guess what? I got some sort of virus which knocked me out for two weeks, going on three! I hardly had any energy to do anything, which was [...]

It happens every now and then; I'll receive an email from a company asking if I'd like to review a product. Most of the time it's been a successful interaction (see here and here) and I've ended up trying some cool products. Other times… well, I'll start this off by saying 'always trust your gut'. [...]

It's been a while since I did a little blogger roll call. I've done a few in the past (here is my last one) and it's basically just my way of saying 'Hey, check out this cool blogger'. This time the people I'm sharing are a mix between new bloggers and really well established ones [...]

Yes! It's time for the annual goal setting blog post! It's not everyone's cup of tea, granted, but I love setting myself challenges. I feel like this year I've gone a bit overboard so I'm going to throw a load at the wall and see what sticks. You know... like pasta! These are in no [...]

It's new year's eve. How? Why? I'm not a new year's celebrator but I do enjoy the fact that it's kind of a globally accepted day to self - review and set intentions.

It's coming to the end of the year and, whilst you can bet your bottom dollar I will be doing a goals recap VERY soon, as well as setting new goals for 2018, I saw a few of my fave bloggers go over their favourite posts for 2017 and I thought it was a damn [...]

I don't know about you, but I love to know more about the bloggers I follow. Particularly what they do during the day. Whilst I know some bloggers are able to make this into a full time job [whuuut?] there are many who just do this as a hobby [like lil' ol' me] and hearing [...]

I have recently signed up to Amazon Associates which is a way for bloggers to make commission by linking products - we get money if you click through and make a purchase - you, in no way, are affected by this bar the usual cookie dilemma! I know it can sometimes seem skeezy - how [...]

As part of the new year and wanting to work on this blog I decided I wanted to smooth out my online 'brand'. Urgh. I hate using that word but it is what it is. I am in the process of weening myself off social media for personal life stuff [not fully, just taking a [...]

I know, it's annoying to read about other people's 'resolutions' for the new year but I will forever set myself goals for the year! I can't help it! Blogging about what I want to do also means I have to be accountable so let's get to it. I was really happy with my goals last [...]
